ABSTRACT:
A wall-mounted electrical receptacle adapter is provided and is configured for receiving contact blades of electrical cable plugs. A first adapter surface of the receptacle adapter contains the prong apertures and operatively makes contact with the contact blades of at least one electrical plug. This first adapter surface is disposed slanted downward at an angle relative to the wall side of the receptacle adapter. A second adapter surface disposed below the first adapter surface also being slanted downward at generally the same angle relative to the wall side as the first adapter surface. The slanting angles of the adapter surfaces allow the power cable to naturally and orderly extend downward toward the ground without making sharp angles at the plug end whereby lengthening the operational life of the power cables. In another embodiment, the slanting angles for the two adapter surfaces are different, whose angle measures one being greater than the other.
